Modified Tests and LDTs—Number of Specimens to Test • Cumitech 31A: recommended number of specimens – ≥ 50 positive specimens – ≥ 100 negative specimens – Rationale: scientifically justified, and laboratories performing LDTs or modified tests have resources to perform larger studies – Number of samples may depend on extent of modification – This is a recommendation. Neither CLIA nor CAP specify number of specimens Source: Cumitech 31A 20
